Step #1: Switch to Skoal tobacco chew.
Step #2: After a week or so, switch to Nicorette Gum.
Step #3: After a week or so, switch to regular gum.
This is why it works: By switching to Skoal for a week or so, you defeat the ritual of holding a Cigarette to your mouth and inhaling it for nicotine. Defeating the ritual of smoking is key. Once you have successfully switched to Skoal, no matter how disgusting it is, the ritual becomes oral. Your new ritual for nicotine is putting it in your mouth, this is why switching to Nicorette won't be very difficult. Switch to regular gum & you're done with cigarettes for as long as your will power permits.
I've tried to quit many many times, I created this plan and it worked for me. I haven't smoked a cigarette in over 2 months.
